As you all know I made a armoured train for BCW. It is hard to destroy but I want the units inside to be able to shoot. How does one achieve this?

Would love to help, but I don't really know... :/
But honestly, I doubt that it would work (except if you make a building I guess). It would be the first unit of this kind in this game.

I think your problem was if your armoured train was an unit , it's not possible to to that like building..... you know if it's possible why no body do that for the Sd.Kfz 251/1.....
I hope , i 'm wrong.......

I think that placing rifles as a weapon for such unit, would be the closest one you can achieve...

There were a couple of "armoured car" trucks in the Spanish Civil War Mod. I thought I read something about they only worked if there was a squad in them to shoot out the firing slots. Maybe take a look and see if I'm right and that could help.
Has anyone seen CorpBob around lately?

i made a german armored train for NL mod - as Ufiak says, you can place a weapon in the unit (supply wagon). best to select an mg, place it at both side and draw their range in ResEditor.

I could almost gaurantee such a thingis impossible, smply because you either make the train a unit or a building. Units can hold infantr, but they cannot do anything while loaded. Engine constraints, unfortunately.

Could you make it somehow like a machine gun (or artillery piece,) where it could only fire when it has a "crew?" That is, give it its own weapon instead of the infantry inside firing, but only let it fire when it is occupied. Do some of the SdKfz 251s have machine guns?

Ocelo: from the resource kit, take the german wagon, load it in ResEditor and export. next, open xml, set guns and weapon. indeed, i was wrong about setting in the ResEditor, my deepest apologies for that misleading information! i was in a hurry writing this...*correction* it is possible to set in ResEditor... i'll leave it up to you to find it!

ok, tried all xml gun settings, but it won't work ingame... so this leaves only the USSR armored train...
however, it's not impossible unless a great modeller could add shootpoints to the model, which i am trying to achieve...
so @ritz, i'll pm you if i have a working model.
